As a leader I feel it is critical to be in the trenches, part of the work my teams do. It helps to create a strong corporate culture of trust and allows me to better lead the entire firm forward, removing obstacles and creating opportunities I may have missed if I didn’t spend time working along side each position in my firm.
This idea of doing one job, in my case leading the firm, while understanding all the jobs came from the book “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael E. Gerber (find it here). It is a great book I encourage you to read!
